Ordenskirche St. Georgen, Baroque church in Sankt Georgen, Bayreuth, Germany.

The Ordenskirche St. Georgen stands in the northeastern part of Bayreuth with stone elements from twenty different regional quarries integrated into its structure.

Margrave George William initiated the church construction in 1705, leading to its consecration in April 1711 under the initial name Sophienkirche.

The church maintains its role as an Lutheran religious center while serving as a venue for the Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival.

Regular church services occur in this religious building, which maintains an online presence through its website and YouTube channel for community engagement.

The building received two names: Sophienkirche after George William's wife and Ordenskirche due to its connection with the Order of the Red Eagle.
